The former Baywatch star said there was no longer any reason to keep Assange "trapped in a small room" now Sweden has dropped its case against him.

Anderson continued: "But Theresa May — who kept him imprisoned in the embassy for five years — refuses to allow him to leave. Theresa May, who is on her last legs. Theresa May of the pyhrric victory (sic)."

"Theresa May, who won't shake the hand of the victims of the Grenfell fire. Who doesn't care about poor people. Who doesn't care about justice or peace. Who doesn't care about Julian. The worst prime minister in living memory."

Anderson also invited French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte to the July opening of her new restaurant in France, and asked him to grant Assange asylum.

She also used the letter to address Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, highlighting their mutual compassion for animals, while stating that Assange should be given compensation.
